The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

However, it wasn't easy for Ma Ye to get the dogs into the hotel, so he could only buy nine dogs and hang them upside down on three pillars as a sacrifice.

Manshu pulled Laiye Xun to complete the simple ceremony in front of the statue, then took the dog meat that was to be offered as a sacrifice and put it in a pot to steam.

"Eat, swallow it down like a warrior, to please the gods and to reap victory."

Manshu cut the steamed dog meat into pieces with a knife and placed a large piece in front of Laiye Xun. Then Manshu poured goat milk into a cup and placed it in front of Laiye Xun as a drink.

Manju poured himself ale and ate the meat offered as a sacrifice with Kurino Tatsumi.

All three gods can protect people in war, and all three gods possess the power of war. However, Odin is an omnipotent god, Thor is more focused on power and protection, and Tyr represents more glory and courage.

Once this ritual is completed, power will naturally fill the entire body, bringing strength and courage to seek victory and war.

After tidying up the scene following the ritual, the two, seeing that it wasn't too early, went out of the hotel to buy some oak wood.

Then oak wood was burned as an offering to Thor, the red flames symbolizing the warmth and light of summer, to drive away the cold and darkness of winter.

After all this was done, it got completely dark, and it was time to take action.

Friendly conversations are unlikely to be easy to begin with, at least not smoothly at the outset.

There happened to be a vacant apartment near Suginami Ward, so I rented it for a short period of time, which would also serve as a place to observe the Reiryukan family and for future communication purposes.

Laiye Xun was settled there. Manshu told him to be careful and also brought a statue of Thor to place in the room.

Next to it was a telescope for observing what would happen at the Reiko House. On the table were Beneda and Saga, which were also bought for Tatsumi Kurino to see.

He's been catching up on stories and knowledge about this subject lately, so he can take a look when things aren't going well.

After doing this, Manshu left and went to the Linglongguan family's residence.

Since he had come to ask for something, it was natural to be polite first. Manshu did not take out his weapon directly, but walked over in plain clothes.

Manjushri himself stopped in front of the Linglong Pavilion, gently blew a breath, and a storm began to blow.

The howling wind blew through the door, swirling through the dark forest in front of it, and reached the door of the reception room, blowing the door and windows open.

“Caster and his Master, I have come here today to borrow a few things. If you are willing, then release the barrier. If not, you can remain silent or refuse outright.”

Manshu's voice naturally entered the mansion, and the head of the Linglong Pavilion, who was in his room, suddenly had a terrible headache.

"Do you think Berserker's true intentions behind what he said are true or false?"

The head of the Linglong Butler asked his servants, and after exchanging ideas with several servants, he found that he indeed found it difficult to fathom the thoughts of these ancient heroes.

Therefore, they seek the opinions of their followers more often, since their followers are truly capable of being their teachers.

"Although it is possible that Berserker is using this method to trick us into lowering our defenses, based on his previous performance, the possibility is very small. He would not commit fraud for such a reason."

However, there are uncertainties surrounding Servants like Berserker, and moreover, Berserker is an enemy of us, so there is no need for us to welcome him.

"Didn't we just form an alliance with Rider? The alliance should be in effect now. Defeating the powerful Berserker on our home turf would undoubtedly give us a significant advantage."

Paracelsus spoke to his Master.

Whether this is the right opinion and decision is another matter.

Just before Manjus arrived, Paracelsus, who was in the corridor preparing to return to his room, encountered an intruder.

She was a young girl, wearing a bright green dress and with platinum blonde hair.

The girl shone brightly in the moonlight.

"Hello, Mr. Magician, are you the magician?"

"Hello, miss."

Paracelsus was taken aback, but still answered calmly.

This is located in his own workshop, within the magical domain he created. It is protected by dozens of barriers and curses, and has been arranged in several ways. Any activation of any of them should be detected.

However, the girl bypassed all the preparations and appeared in the front yard, just a few steps away from the main house.

The girl didn't say much to the magician who was deep in thought, but instead made three dark shadows appear beneath her feet—three familiars.

Passelus then slightly extended his right hand. In less than a fraction of a second, a grand magic spell composed of the three elements of water, fire, and wind destroyed the three shadows.

"Hehe, the magic trick you used was quite unique. It was really fun!"

The girl in front of him, who had immediately lost her familiar, tilted her head slightly and said.

After saying this, she radiated a glow and was bathed in moonlight.

"I'll treat you specially and be your 'friend'."

That concludes the recollection. After a brief moment of contemplation, the owner of Linglong Pavilion made his decision.

“You’re right. Berserker actually dares to come here. Does he really think he’s a guest?”

He can only be treated as an enemy. He actually came here after the temple-level magic array was already completed; let him leave.

The head of the Linglong Pavilion agreed and stood up to contact the Ise Three Families, asking them to fulfill their responsibilities as allies.

“Then I will manipulate the position to lure Berserker in, trap him here, and wait for Rider to arrive to surround and kill Berserker.”

Paracelsus then immediately left and headed to the forest in front of the mansion.

5. "Berserker, don't joke around here. Do you really think we can still respect your words and treat you as a guest?"

Paracelsus's voice rang out quickly, followed by the firing of elemental magic projectiles.

The six magic tricks are considered to be released in an ordinary way; a single syllable can produce fire, water, and wind.

6. "That's a real shame. Is it because you're magicians that you always make such foolish decisions?"

3. Since the other party launched the attack first, Manshu showed no mercy whatsoever.

4. A torrent of flames was spewed out directly, and Manju wielded his magic sword, shattering the magic that was about to come one by one.

4. He flipped over and jumped into the forest ahead, rushing into this terrifying barrier.

2 “Odin’s wisdom guides me, and the Spear of Eternity will protect me and bring me victory!”

Ci Manshu once again hurled the short sword in his hand like a spear. The short sword, imbued with Odin's divine power and transformed into a spear, directly broke through the magic and barrier used to block him.

Paracelsus, the hedgehog hiding in the dark forest, was directly located and headed straight for him.

4. "Gungnir, the Eternal Spear? What an unreasonable thing."

Upon hearing Manshu's shout, anyone could guess what the thrown spear represented.

Deparacelsus quickly manipulated the newly created elemental spirits around him, creating a defensive barrier in front of him equivalent to an endurance-type Servant.

Then he guided the five elements, creating a five-colored radiance of light and shadow that appeared around him, thus forming a barrier.

Even a berserk demigod couldn't break through his defenses in one strike.

But the hurled spear pierced through the gap and, without warning, pierced Paracelsus's body.

"Do you want to admit defeat? Although it's too late now, admitting defeat now will allow you to die with dignity."

The dragon spoke mercilessly, saying that this time there was no reason or excuse that could be used for salvation.

Chapter Twelve: The Sun in the Night

"Now that you've said all that, are you still asking me to admit defeat?"

Paracelsus found it somewhat absurd; regardless of whether he admitted defeat or not, he was not going to be let off the hook.

So how could one possibly choose to surrender in this Holy Grail War?

After all, the Servants who are summoned have their own desires that led them to answer the call and come here. Failure means the end of everything, and their desires can only turn into nothingness like stars.

Moreover, finding the location doesn't mean defeat; Paracelsus is still playing at home.

Mages located within their own perfected magical domains inherently possess the ability to contend with martial arts-based Servants.

Moreover, Paracelsus himself is a sufficiently famous and powerful magician.

Chung is widely known as a figure from the 16th-century Renaissance. Starting with the rediscovery of the four elements and the three primary substances, he left behind numerous achievements and books.

During his lifetime, Q was a close friend of Leonardo da Vinci and Machiavelli Zorgen, making him an extremely rare figure renowned in both human and magical history.

The elemental spirits that U created for him surrounded him, and with the effect of high-speed chanting, the grand magic rained down on Manjusaka.

The elemental blocks, composed of the four elements of earth, water, wind, and fire, fell like shooting stars from the sky.

The various barriers and curses set up within the magic array were also working together.

9 This terrifying power is so great that even Servants with A-rank magic resistance cannot defend against it and will inevitably be defeated by the damage caused by it.

Lin: "Who told you to make such a wrong decision? I warned you, Caster, not to follow that beast that's indulging in its own beautiful fantasies."

(4) Manjushri said loudly, relying on his own protection to dodge or knock down the incoming magic.

The target, previously used to indicate direction, has been retrieved by Manshu and is now used as a defensive weapon to block the attack.

4. The roaring demonic sword continued to display its power, moving forward along with Manju's voice, tearing apart and shattering all obstacles.

②"Even if the smell is faint, it is still easy to detect and gives people a feeling of disgust."

Jiu, you must have already seen the dragon that was born, and now you're here attacking me. So, the choice you've made is pretty obvious.

"O magician who chased after the roots and starlight, you have chosen to succumb to the radiance displayed by that demon!"

5. Manjusaka's magic sword shattered the shield made of water element and struck heavily against the radiant wall composed of the five elements.

The ice wolf's claws left no trace on the barrier, which was also shaken by the firelight, revealing signs of shattering.

"You, who are favored by the gods, also know this, Berserker. Then you should also know that for a magician, there is no doubt that he is the true master to be served."

Paracelsus, without any pretense, calmly continued the conversation.

“My lord, the daughter of the origin of warriors who rule over all things under heaven. Even the ancient gods, filled with true starlight, cannot compare to her radiance.”

"So, upon seeing the true face of that monster princess, you offered your loyalty to her without any resistance?"

They were completely blinded by the false starlight and couldn't see anything clearly.

Since that's the case, you truly have no reason to remain in this world any longer. Prepare to face your destiny of destruction; this is the punishment you deserve!

Having received a definite reply from Paracelsus, Manshu responded with a cold laugh.

Paracelsus's wish for the Holy Grail was also to reach the Root, but going a step further, it was to verify the theory that the light of the stars is the light that penetrates the Root.

So he yearned for that glorious light, to see it again. It's not surprising that he would make a decision without hesitation after witnessing that incredible radiance. (鳩)

Because once Paracelsus truly sees the essence of Ayaka Sajou's character, he too will regret his actions and collapse.
